"But, what should we do with our artillery?" The infantry could get into the mountains and forests at any time and run away. However, the artillery was different. Although the 105 howitzer was already a very light guy, it weighed more than one ton in total. This weight could only be driven by the pickup trucks through the road. During this period, the huge power of the 105 howitzer made Ka. Kurtu really couldn't bear to throw away these treasures, so after completing the infantry's retreat arrangement, he asked Cai Zhongxiao this question.

"It doesn't matter. After the artillery has carried out this round of fierce attacks, they can retreat first. They are several kilometers away from the front line and retreat faster than anyone else." Cai Zhongxiao saw Ka Kortu's painful look. He knew that he was reluctant to leave this possession. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Col. Kortu, when the artillery battalion retreated twenty or thirty kilometers away, our people can dismantle these cannons into more than a dozen parts within 3 or 4 minutes, so that the cannons can be transported to the mountains and forests to hide. When we solve the Ugandan fighter jets and kill them again, we can take out and assemble them and use them, so that we can't transport them to the mountains and forests and save us from being inconvenient to transport them."

Ka Kurtu obviously did not expect that the cannons from China had such functions, so he couldn't help but give his thumbs up and exclaimed: "Chinese cannons are amazing!" This time Ka Kurtu spoke in Chinese. Although it seemed extremely stiff, Cai Zhongxiao still understood. He smiled and stopped talking. Because he was getting closer and closer to China, he felt that language barriers had an increasing impact on his career. Therefore, he took a break from his busy schedule and found Jakar. He came to Jit as an interpreter and began to learn Chinese from Cai Zhongxiao. Although the Chinese vocabulary he knew is still relatively limited, he remembered a lot of military Chinese terms.

Although the God-helping self-helper, Ka Kurtu is a small warlord from the Kinko Democratic Republic of China, he has a good vision and knows how to advance and retreat, so he can continue to gain support from Tanzania and the People's Liberation Army. Now he is the military spokesperson of China in the Kinko Democratic Republic of China. He is both civil and military, and he is now in a good manner.

The retreat quietly began. The Ugandans and Rwandans over there were looking for a place to hide under the fierce artillery fire. One of the Rwandan artillery battalions originally planned to fight against Ka Kurtu, but as soon as they entered the position, they were discovered by the pterosaur drone in the sky. After a precise artillery fire was covered, the Rwandan artillery battalions were only left with scrap iron and corpses.

The Ugandans' artillery battalion was so scared that they didn't dare to press on. They never dreamed that in such fierce artillery fire, their opponents began to apply oil to their feet. So even after the opponent's artillery stopped the artillery, the two infantry brigades of Rwanda and Uganda were waiting motionlessly to wait for the air force to deal with the Kakortu artillery.

More than half an hour later, Uganda's F-16 fighter jets rushed over, but first wandered around the high altitude behind the Kartu position for a long time but did not find the so-called artillery position. Then an F-16 fighter jet carefully lowered the altitude for reconnaissance and found that the opposite position had already been empty and there was nothing left.

They quickly called the ground troops through radio to go forward. The Ugandan brigade on the ground could not believe that the enemy had retreated. They carefully sent vanguards to reconnaissance, but only found that the enemy's position was indeed empty. When the Ugandans completed the reconnaissance and confirmed that the Kurtu troops had retreated, half an hour had passed.

During this half hour, the Ugandan Air Force, who was excited, did not expect that it would be empty this time. They set off from Bukavu and searched along the No. 5 km leading to Baraka. From Bukavu back to Baraka, there was only one road on Highway 5. Ugandan F-16 pilots were not afraid of not being able to find the way. They did not believe that in such a short time, Ka Kurtu's artillery could fly to the sky.

However, they searched more than 100 kilometers along the 5th km altitude of 4,5 kilometers towards Baraka, but they did not find any traces of Ka. Courtois artillery. Although dozens of pickup trucks were found along the way, these pickup trucks were only carrying more than a dozen soldiers, and the cannons did not even see the shadow. And once they heard the sound of planes in the air, these Ka Courtois soldiers scattered in birds and beasts, jumped from the pickup truck and hid in the mountains and forests next to the road.

A target like a pickup truck alone is certainly not worth wasting valuable ammunition. The search for nothing made Ugandan pilots extremely depressed. On the way back, two F-16 fighter pilots unwilling to use low-altitude flights, lowering the altitude to more than 1,000 meters, so that they could clearly see the situation on the ground. Even if the troops in Courtois heard the sound of the plane, they temporarily hid the howitzer in the grass and bushes on the side of the road, they would leave some clues to be discovered.

Then, after searching more than 20 kilometers away from Bukavu, several air defense missiles suddenly emerged from the bushes on the roadside. The pilots of the two F-16 fighter jets were almost unable to react and were hit by these portable air defense missiles in the air. A huge fireball exploded in the air. Before the pilot could eject a safe distance, he was directly killed by the huge explosion shock wave and aircraft debris.

It turned out that this was Cai Zhongxiao's suggestion that Ka Kurtu stayed to ambush the Ugandan fighter jet. Unexpectedly, it really came in handy. He killed two Ugandan F-16C/D fighters with a few FN-16 portable missiles!

The pilots of the four Ugandan F-16 fighter jets following high altitude were startled and found that they had not been attacked again after desperately pulling up. Then they turned the nose and returned to the sky above the attacked place and threw precision-guided missiles into the mountains where the missile had just erupted out. However, they were all futile and useless except to trigger a small forest fire. The Kurtu Air Defense Company, who had successfully attacked Ka. The Courtois Air Defense Company had already escaped after launching the missile.

For senior Ugandan military figures, the two F-16s that were accidentally lost were not a big loss to them, because the Americans promised that in this war, all the lost materials would be compensated at the price. In addition to supplementing the losses of new fighter jets, things like fighters also gave the Ugandan military an additional $5 million in pilot losses. Regardless of whether the pilot can be rescued in the end, it is the same price. Although it is not easy to train a fighter pilot, it is all the money paid by the state and the national military budget. It is difficult for the senior military leaders to do it.

However, the war loss compensation given by the Americans has become a small vault that can be controlled by the senior Ugandan military leaders. It would be good if the families of Ugandan pilots who died or were captured in battle were able to get one percent of the compensation. The remaining large amount of compensation will fall into the pockets of senior Ugandan military generals. Therefore, for the losses of the two F-16 fighter jets of the Air Force, the senior Ugandan military generals did not pay attention to the reasons for the losses, except for reporting the situation of the war to the Americans as soon as possible to ask for compensation.

In their opinion, Ka Kurtu's troops only succeeded by relying on the portable missiles in their hands. The Ugandans were very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of this missile. As long as the fighter plane is kept above 3,000 meters, there will be no big problems. Therefore, they just issued an order to require the fighter plane to remain above 3,000 meters and it will be done.

However, this time the Air Force lost one air force, which greatly dissatisfied the senior Ugandan military. They asked the Army and the Air Force to formulate a strict coordinated combat plan to ensure air-to-ground coordination. That is to say, before the Army launches an attack, it must wait for the arrival of the Air Force before starting the attack. Now the Ugandan Air Force still has 10 F-16C/D fighter jets. Since Kakutou has no air force at all, the Ugandan Air Force's F-16 fighter jets will all carry weapons for ground attack. The most important of these is the CBU-87 cluster bombs targeting large-scale killing. This cluster bomb weighs 430 kilograms and has 202 sub-munitions. When the explosion is triggered, each sub-munition will break into hundreds of metal fragments, and all sub-munitions form a huge killing area of ​​up to 200 meters x 400 meters.

For infantry, this is simply a tragic killing weapon.

In addition to the CBU-87 cluster bomb, the Ugandans also prepared a joint guided attack weapon JDAM precision guided bomb for the F-16 fighter jet. This bomb can accurately hit the target after being dropped at a height of thousands of meters. The circular probability error is no more than ten meters. Compared with its explosive killing power, this error is almost negligible. It is an excellent weapon for target removal bombing. It is better for destroying high-value targets such as artillery positions.

Therefore, when Ka Kurtu's troops retreated safely to Baraka, Cai Zhongxiao was not happy to retreat completely. Cai Zhongxiao did not receive any warning from the General Staff intelligence department or Tanzania for the unexpected appearance of the Rwandan and Ugandan elite infantry and F-16 fighter jets on the battlefield. It was a bit of a lucky chance to escape unscathed this time.

But the next thing is not that simple. Once the Ugandans and Rwandans who suffered a little loss, once the air-ground attack is coordinated, it will be difficult for Ka-Kortu's current troops to withstand it. Especially the F-16 fighter jets, Ka-Kortu has no ability to deal with them at all. This method of sneak attack with portable air defense missiles can only be used once. Don't expect such a good thing to happen again in the next battle.

What should I do next? Cai Zhongxiao thought hard about the solution, while informing the People's Liberation Army Command in Tanzania about the latest battle situation and information on the request for help.
